The more I think about it? I don't think it's the actress' fault, I think it was the script and the direction. They hired newbie directors and screen-writers, who hadn't done a huge action oriented film before this. Also there were two directors and three screen-writers.
Marsters once said in film and on television, the actor is basically celery, they aren't the chef, they aren't a cook, they are just one of many ingredients in a meal.
And I saw "The Room" -- she was emotive and good in that. Really good. Won awards and deservedly so. No, this is directorial problem. The same was true with the first two Thor films and Doctor Strange - pacing issues and the actors looked bored at various points. That's not the actors fault so much as direction and editing. Keep in mind they are acting against special effects and doing multiple takes. And often film-editors and directors will go with the take that likes the lighting best.
I'm waiting for Endgame. Also I liked and enjoyed the film. Don't regret seeing it. Was it on the same level as Black Panther - no. But we also didn't have the same caliber of director behind the helm. In film -- it's all about the director.
